Chapter 539 - 536: Installation Complete
The moment the explosion rang out, a sense of foreboding had already risen in Lin Xinghai’s heart.
After hearing what Fu Yuan said, Lin Xinghai’s gaze grew even sharper.
With one special operations squad exposed, it wouldn’t just affect them—it would affect everyone.
Sure enough, the moment this thought occurred to him, a piercing alarm blared throughout the entire underground base.
As the alarm sounded, the previously lax patrol teams instantly went on high alert. They were no longer patrolling; instead, they moved to guard the critical passageways.
This change was, of course, extremely disadvantageous for Lin Xinghai and his team.
Once these people were on alert, killing them would be much more difficult.
"Go! We’ll fight our way over, blow up the weapons depot, and retreat immediately," Lin Xinghai said decisively.
The others, of course, had no objections. They could also see that if they didn’t execute the mission now, they would likely lose their chance.
After all, now that the enemy knew there were intruders in the underground base, it was impossible that they wouldn’t take countermeasures for a place as critical as the weapons depot. They might even send heavily armed troops to guard it.
After giving his orders, Lin Xinghai immediately shot forward.
Even though he made no attempt to conceal his movements, his Speed was so immense that the armed personnel along the way couldn’t see him at all. They would only see a blur before collapsing to the ground, dead.
Of course, this only applied to the Optimized. As for the Blood and Qi Realm Martial Artists, the alarm had set their own internal bells ringing. At the slightest disturbance, they would immediately activate their Blood Qi Power to protect themselves.
Under these circumstances, if Lin Xinghai used a wide-area attack like the Thousand Thunder Stab, it would be difficult to kill them with a single strike.
Of course, if one strike wasn’t enough, he would use two or three, or even four or five. By concentrating his attacks on a single point, he could easily shatter their Defense with Mjolnir’s sharpness.
Though he couldn’t kill them instantly, he could still end the fight in under half a second.
Lin Xinghai charged forward, and in less than ten seconds, he had already killed all five patrol teams he encountered, arriving at the door to the weapons depot.
The members of the Wolf Hunting Squad followed closely behind. As Lin Xinghai reached the main door, Huang Tianyu immediately dashed forward and quickly unlocked it.
The weapons depot covered a massive area. Even after Lin Xinghai’s Perception Power forcibly penetrated the heavy door, he couldn’t grasp the full situation inside. Even so, he had already detected a fully armed squad in Exoskeleton Armor.
"Wait five seconds, then follow me in." After giving the order, Lin Xinghai glanced at the slightly ajar door and charged in without a second look.
RAT-A-TAT-TAT!
BOOM BOOM BOOM!
It had to be said that when prepared, the combat effectiveness of these squads in Exoskeleton Armor was not the least bit weak.
And inside this weapons depot, there were a full three such combat squads.
Relying on the weapons in their hands and using the doorway for defense, they could even briefly withstand the assault of an entire regiment.
But unfortunately for them, they had encountered Lin Xinghai.
Moreover, as the door opened a crack, Lin Xinghai’s Perception Power could slip through the opening unimpeded to investigate the situation inside.
So, the moment he entered, he was already fully prepared.
This time, Lin Xinghai not only used the Phantom Body Technique and his Time Acceleration Ability, but he even activated his Thunder Divine Body.
With his Martial Arts and Superpower active, his Speed was already a staggering 13,400 points.
Now, by activating the Thunder Divine Body, his base Speed soared by another 1,000 points. Under the 10x multiplier of his Time Acceleration Ability, this equated to an additional 10,000 points of Speed.
Going all out, his Speed had now reached a terrifying 23,400 points.
At such a Speed, even though the Exoskeleton Armor squad inside was prepared, they could at most see a blurry shadow flash past and disappear.
Even with the dynamic motion-capture systems on their Exoskeleton Armor, they were unable to track Lin Xinghai’s movements.
In this situation, the only thing they could do was unleash a barrage of covering fire.
But in his Time Acceleration State, Lin Xinghai perceived everyone’s movements as being slowed down ten-fold.
Combined with his Perception Power, the moment an enemy raised their gun, Lin Xinghai could predict the trajectory of their next shot just by their movements.
Therefore, their covering fire was utterly useless against the current Lin Xinghai.
Relying on his unparalleled Speed, he rapidly closed in, killing enemies with one swift spear thrust after another.
Naturally, he decided to pick the low-hanging fruit first. Lin Xinghai eliminated all of the Optimized one by one with his spear before turning his attention to the Blood and Qi Realm Martial Artists.
However, while his Divine Demon Body was active, dealing with these Blood and Qi Realm Martial Artists was actually quite easy for Lin Xinghai.
Once their numbers dwindled and the threat from their covering fire had significantly decreased, he switched from the evasive Phantom Body Technique to the Thunderbolt Step.
The Speed of the Thunderbolt Step was comparable to the Phantom Body Technique, but it had one advantage: in addition to being fast, it also possessed Attack Power.
BOOM!
Lin Xinghai lashed out with a kick, his foot wreathed in Thunder Power.
Combined with the activation of his Thunder Divine Body, the Power in his legs increased by a full 1,000 points. The resulting force from this combination was comparable to a full-strength blow from an expert at the Body Shaping Realm Early Stage.
This level of Attack Power was far beyond what a Blood and Qi Realm Martial Artist could block with Blood Qi Power alone. If they hadn’t been wearing Exoskeleton Armor, they likely wouldn’t have even been able to withstand a single one of Lin Xinghai’s kicks.
After shattering their Blood Qi Power defenses with a single kick, all that remained was a problem that could be solved with a single thrust of his spear.
Essentially, Lin Xinghai maintained a rhythm of one kick and one spear thrust to kill each Blood and Qi Realm Martial Artist. He ended the battle within five seconds.
Just then, Fu Yuan and the others, who had been waiting outside, rushed in.
They hadn’t been waiting idly, either. During the wait, they had already assembled the High-Energy Bombs and their timers. Upon entering, they took a quick glance at their surroundings, immediately split up, and threw the devices into various corners.
"Once your High-Energy Bomb is planted, retreat immediately! Huang Tianyu, activate the detonation device!" Fu Yuan shouted as he began to run out.
Lin Xinghai saw this and was a bit confused. ’Why is the bomb-planting procedure different from before?’ But now wasn’t the time for questions, so he hurriedly followed the others out.
